Nordstrom Just Discounted Over 8,800 New Items for the Long Weekend, With Prices Starting at $34

The holidays are finally over, and I was exceptionally generous this year. From new sneakers for my mom to handbags for my sister, I shared the holiday spirit with everyone — except myself. But now that things have calmed down, I plan to treat myself to something new to ring in the new year. And while many of the end-of-year sales have come and gone, I know of one store that’s always running steep discounts on my favorite brands — and that's Nordstrom. There are 8,800 plus new fashion markdowns on brands like Ugg, Topshop, Skims, NYDJ, Levi’s, and more for the long holiday weekend, so I went ahead and rounded up 12 of the best deals on the site — and discounts are up to 61 percent off.

Topshop Crop Sweater

I’m in my preppy fashion era, so I’m grabbing for anything with a collar and a boxy fit. So it should come as no surprise that Topshop’s Crop Sweater stopped me mid-scroll when I came across it in Nordstrom's newly marked-down section. It’s available in blue, tan, and black and ranges from size XS through L. Opening up from the posh collar is a V-neckline, a cropped fit that’s oversized enough for layering, and side slits on both sides. There’s also a drop shoulder for added ease, ribbed finishings on the hem, and cuffs for added visual interest.

NYDJ Relaxed Slender Jeans

If you’re in the market for quality denim that’s also going to flatter your figure, NYDJ is the brand to reach for — it’s even Oprah's go-to jeans brand. And this pair of Relaxed Slender Jeans comes in two classic washes, a universally flattering cut, and is on sale for 61 percent off. It’s made from NYDJ’s custom stretch denim that smoothes and slims from within. The silhouette is loose through the thigh, then goes straight down to the hem, and fits sizes 0 through 16. They feature a classic button and zipper closure, five pockets across the front and back, and rest a few inches below the waist. 

Topshop Quarter-Zip Faux-Fur Hoodie

Topshop Quarter-Zip Faux-Fur Hoodie lives in a similar category as polo sweaters for me, but what takes them to the next level is the fact that they have a closure, making them a better layerable for cold weather. It comes in three colors: green, black, and cream, and is available in sizes XS through L. It features a quarter-zip closure for easy on and off, a deep hood for extra warmth and coverage, raglan sleeves, and a front kangaroo pocket. The fabric is a cozy faux fur, and the fit’s effortlessly spacious.

Caslon Mock-Neck Sweater

Winter is in full swing, and the weather reports say to bundle up because the season’s in full swing. So I’m suggesting to everyone now to stock up on warm sweaters. A great place to start is Caslon’s Mock-Neck Sweater, which is on sale for 52 percent off.  It comes in six colors: red, blue, black, orange, white, and gray in XXS through XXL. It features an easy fit in a super soft knit, a medium weight, lots of stretch, and dropped shoulders. There’s a funnel-style neckline that offers extra coverage, a split detail at the back neckline so it’s not too tight around the neck, and ribbed finishings at the cuff and hem.
